Link to October 18 Billings Gazette article, "$2 million pledged by anonymous donor for new library".
Excerpt: The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous for now, offered the gift to spur a communitywide fundraising campaign, Modrow said in a press release. She said the $2 million donation would be the largest single gift to a city of Billings project.
The donor’s focus is the building, the release said, hoping that the gift will enable the city of Billings and residents throughout Yellowstone County to have a new library that is architecturally appealing. The donor is not interested in the design or layout of the interior.
Modrow said the donation shows that the foundation is on target to raise $5 million in private funds for a new library building.
The downtown library facility committee, which was appointed to advise the Billings Library Board and City Council on the best location for a downtown library, met over recent months to help chart the future of the Parmly Billings Library.
